Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) are large expulsions of solar material that involve large disturbances in the structure of the solar corona and in the solar wind. There is general consensus that stressed magnetic field structures are present in the CME source region at the time of eruption. The different theoretical models with regard to CME initiation all have in common the existence of magnetic flux ropes, either present in the solar atmosphere before the CME lift-off, or created during the eruption. Some of the models, like the magnetic 'breakout', presume a specific magnetic topology of the pre-eruption coronal field. In this research, the initiation of CMEs is studied in the framework of computational ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). A multipolar flux system is energized through photospheric motions of the magnetic foot points. We investigate the interplanetary propagation and magnetic field structure of CMEs originating from regions with different magnetic topology.
